Question

an author fictionalizing a story should use which types of source materials to research the story’s elements? select three answers. interviews movies news articles short stories textbooks

Explanation:

When fictionalizing a story, an author needs credible, factual source materials to research elements like setting, context, or real-world details. Interviews provide firsthand, personal accounts for authentic perspectives. News articles offer verifiable real-world events, contexts, or information about specific topics/settings. Textbooks provide authoritative, structured factual knowledge on subjects (e.g., history, science) that can ground the story's elements. Movies and short stories are creative, fictional works, not research sources for factual story elements.

Answer:

• Interviews
• News articles
• Textbooks
